Do you test beauty products before you buy them? Do you try them on or just swatch?
.
I only swatch them on my arm or hand! Depending on the brand, I may buy without swatching (either online or in-store) -- but that's when I trust the brand!
Do you like shopping at makeup counters or prefer self-serve displays (like Sephora)? What's your preference?

I like laid-back makeup counters, because I do like to peruse without being bothered or sold to, but I do like having someone dedicated to the line there in case I do need help. I love the...

.
I actually like to have both. For everyday, I do like something all-in-one, because then I know it's supposed to work together and all that good stuff. However, I do like to have a moisturizer without, for those occasions where I know...
How do you come up with color combinations? (For your makeup, duh!) How do you know what to pair with what?
.
I always look at what I've recently reviewed/tried/purchased! I try to do looks using new products to show how they look in practice. In terms of what to pair with what, I've found my...
